Stuff the Sleigh 5K Run/Walk

Stuff the Sleigh 5K Run/Walk is run in Caledonia, Wisconsin, on December 27, 2026. There is one format, a 5K (3.1 miles) with a 10:00 a.m. start, open to runners and walkers alike. The mid-morning gun makes it one of the more civilized holiday-week races on the calendar.

A 5K two days after Christmas is a good way to reset a week that has gone off the rails, and the walking option means you can bring family who would not otherwise enter a race. For runners, treat it either as a hard 20- to 25-minute session or as the opening effort of a winter block; either way, a ten-minute jog and a few strides beforehand will stop the first mile feeling like a shock. Newer runners can walk the uphills and jog the rest without any concern.
